Anti-CASPR2 Antibody (BSA and Azide free)

Contactin-associated protein-like 2 protein, or Caspr2, is a neuronal transmembrane member of the Neurexin family. Structural features of Caspr2 include epidermal growth factor repeats, laminin G domains, F5/8 type C domain, fibrinogen-like domains, and PDZ binding sites. Caspr2 is a cell adhesion molecule as well as a receptor. It is involved in mediating cell–cell interactions in the nervous system and involved in neural-glia interactions and clustering of potassium channels in myelinated axons. It is expressed at the juxaperanodal region of nodes of Ranvier in the CNS and PNS. Changes in expression have been associated with increased susceptibility to autism and epilepsy.

Our Anti-CASPR2 mouse monoclonal primary antibody from NeuroMab is produced in-house from hybridoma clone K67/25. It is KO validated, detects human, mouse, and rat CASPR2, and is purified by protein a chromatography. It is great for use in WB, IHC, ICC, ELISA.

Aliquot and store at ≤ -20°C for long term storage. For short term storage, store at 2-8°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the vial prior to removing the cap.

Produced by in vitro bioreactor culture of hybridoma line followed by Protein A affinity chromatography and buffer exchanged into 1X PBS. Purified mAbs are >90% specific antibody.

Each new lot of antibody is quality control tested by western blot on rat whole brain lysate and confirmed to stain the expected molecular weight band.
